Disqualification worries

[Bunshine1]

Hi there!
I'm considering joining the AFROTC, however, I have a few things I need to learn about before even getting my hopes up.
I had a situation with some anxiety last year (my last semester of HS) and got put on a low dosage of Prozac. Now, almost a year later, I'm going to be weening off of them very soon.
I am wanting to enroll into the AFROTC this fall semester (I'll be a sophmore) and I noticed the the 'harshness' considered by the DoDMERB. I'm aware that they might disqualify me for my past with this medication (which I'll be off by the time they examine me in the fall). What are my chances that I'll successfully be waivered? I was never diagnosed with anything to my knowledge as this was at my local family pediatrics.

Thanks!

1. I am DoDMERB and "harshness" is not part of our mission, even when falsely accused
2. You weren't prescribed Prozac, without a diagnosis, though you may not have been aware of it.
3. Google "DoDMERB;" Hit "Questions on th process;" Read para 18a,c,e.

Haha I realized after I posted it that I came across as ignorant for saying 'not diagnosed.' Obviously I was haha..

Not ignorant. There's lots of nuances of medicine that young folks...heck even old folks...won't know, until they experience it. No harm, no foul
